3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
500ml bottle as a present from Fin. Thanks a lot again for just an amazing lager. Hazy gold, thin white head. Softly hoppy aroma with just a touch of bread. It’s lovely. Really good bite on the finish. The finish is just like a great pilsner. Some very good lemon on this too. I am completely floored that the 2 lagers that Fin brought back for me. They have been completely wonderful and just make me wish all lager could be this good and that we could get this great distribution here in the UK. Touch of earthy lemon herbiness on aroma.

There is a lovely softness in the mouth but good bitterness. This is really tasty and very moreish. Hoppy on nose, good crispness, really refreshing, a very good lager.
